Quote
All the people of the world believe the actions of the mind, speech and body as their own. “Really speaking”, “One’ (the Self) is not the doer in the slightest. All events are vibrations of ignorant state, and are created from natural creation. There is not a single one, who is the creator of it.

After any thing has come into Knowledge, it can never revert back into ignorance; contradictions do not arise. By helping every established principle (siddhant) one by one, the established principle continues to move forward. It does not break any established principle, contradictions do not arise.

This worldly life is nothing but an entrapment. So then, where can one go? If one is stuck in a mire then he cannot even get out of it, as he tries to get out of it, he sinks in it even deeper. Similarly, if one gets trapped in this fantasizing, then how can be become free?

Quote
Circumstances can change through worldly knowledge (ignorance of the self, the Soul) and also through (true) knowledge (realization of the self). With ignorance, circumstances will bring entanglements and with (true) knowledge, circumstances will bring solutions. (True) Knowledge itself changes circumstances. Is God likely to come down and do so?

Once you understand the innate nature (relative self, prakruti) of the other person, you can remain in an attachment-free state with that person. It is Knowledge (Gnan) to understand the innate nature of a person, and once Knowledge arises, so will conduct.
